I have had my fair share of lousy winter driving so when I retired last spring I was glad. No more driving in conditions like what we saw around here yesterday. Winter drive became an option for me. Still, there were people who ventured out in the storm. One of them is dead today. 71 others are severely injured. Why? Because they were not prepared for what was on the road in front of them.
Look at the picture. Can you see the car stopped on the road 1/4 mile ahead? Will you be able to stop in time on the icy roads? Maybe. It's also possible that, when you step on the brakes, your car begins to spin out of control. You very well could be watching the last few seconds of your life unfolding before you.
Most people don't think about God at a time like that. "Am I saved or not?" They're more concerned about saving themselves from the car accident that awaits them. And then it's too late.
There are plenty of people out there in the world who know Jesus already. They are much like anyone else in a white out like the one in the picture. They're probably thinking similar thoughts to any person when facing the unknown. But they have prepared themselves ahead of time.
The person that died yesterday in that accident. Were they a Christian? Were they saved? I don't know. I can't tell you if they were prepared to meet Jesus or not yesterday. But I can ask you. Are you ready to face death?
None of us can read what's in another person's heart just like none of us can see what's on the road ahead of us in a white out. Are we ready for what's on the road ahead of us in OUR lives?
"Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. "But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into." - Matthew 24:42-43
